2015-12-16Partial revert of "powerpc: Individual System V IPC system calls"Michael Ellerman1-12/+12
This partially reverts commit a34236155afb1cc41945e58388ac988431bcb0b8. While reviewing the glibc patch to exploit the individual IPC calls, Arnd & Andreas noticed that we were still requiring userspace to pass IPC_64 in order to get the new style IPC API. With a bit of cleanup in the kernel we can drop that requirement, and instead only provide the new style API, which will simplify things for userspace. Rather than try and sneak that patch into 4.4, instead we will drop the individual IPC calls for powerpc, and merge them again in 4.5 once the cleanup patch has gone in. Because we've already added sys_mlock2() as syscall #378, we don't do a full revert of the IPC calls. Instead we drop the __NR #defines, and send those now undefined syscall numbers to sys_ni_syscall(). This leaves a gap in the syscall numbers, but we'll reuse them when we merge the individual IPC calls. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2015-05-20powerpc: Enable sys_kcmp() for CRIULaurent Dufour1-1/+1
The commit 8170a83f15ee ("powerpc: Wireup the kcmp syscall to sys_ni") has disabled the kcmp syscall for powerpc. This has been done due to the use of unsigned long parameters which may require a dedicated wrapper to handle 32bit process on top of 64bit kernel. However in the kcmp() case, the 2 unsigned long parameters are currently only used to carry file descriptors from user space to the kernel. Since such a parameter is passed through register, and file descriptor doesn't need to get extended, there is, today, no need for a wrapper. In the case there will be a need to pass address in or out of this system call, then a wrapper could be required, it will then be to care of it. As today this is not the case, it is safe to enable kcmp() on powerpc. Tested (by Laurent) on 64-bit, 32-bit, and 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernel using tools/testing/selftests/kcmp [mpe].

2015-03-28powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endiannessMichael Ellerman1-0/+1
We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall exception entry. That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't recognise the syscall at all. Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall exception entry, which is complicated enough without it. As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a regular syscall that implements the same functionality. The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the special syscall clobbers fewer registers. This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

2014-07-28powerpc: Use standard macros for sys_sigpending() & sys_old_getrlimit()Michael Ellerman1-2/+2
Currently we have sys_sigpending and sys_old_getrlimit defined to use COMPAT_SYS() in systbl.h, but then both are #defined to sys_ni_syscall in systbl.S. This seems to have been done when ppc and ppc64 were merged, in commit 9994a33 "Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S". AFAICS there's no longer (or never was) any need for this, we can just use SYSX() for both and remove the #defines to sys_ni_syscall. The expansion before was: #define COMPAT_SYS(func) .llong .sys_##func,.compat_sys_##func #define sys_old_getrlimit sys_ni_syscall COMPAT_SYS(old_getrlimit) => .llong .sys_old_getrlimit,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit => .llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit After is: #define SYSX(f, f3264, f32) .llong .f,.f3264 SYSX(sys_ni_syscall, compat_sys_old_getrlimit, sys_old_getrlimit) => .llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit ie. they are equivalent. Finally both COMPAT_SYS() and SYSX() evaluate to sys_ni_syscall in the Cell SPU code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack. There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I still want to sort through and test. The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly thanks to Anton and Rusty. We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for 64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This meant more churn that just endian fixes. This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes. There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!). Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of 4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM (the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).

2011-10-31Cross Memory AttachChristopher Yeoh1-0/+2
The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a double copy of the message via shared memory. The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current process's address space into a destination process's address space. - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with using it: - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or written to would need to be contiguous. - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call, but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping (reason appears to have been lost) - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view, especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands of processes that all need to do this with each other - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to consider adding in the future (see below) - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily) As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying. There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source and destination and store it in the destination. Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up when the mm changes. There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2 There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for 64-bit kernels. For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly verify that the syscalls are working correctly here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/cma-test-20110718.tgz Signed-off-by: Chris Yeoh <yeohc@au1.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: "H.

2011-05-28ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W.

2011-05-05net: Add sendmmsg socket system callAnton Blanchard1-0/+1
This patch adds a multiple message send syscall and is the send version of the existing recvmmsg syscall. This is heavily based on the patch by Arnaldo that added recvmmsg. I wrote a microbenchmark to test the performance gains of using this new syscall: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/sendmmsg_test.c The test was run on a ppc64 box with a 10 Gbit network card. The benchmark can send both UDP and RAW ethernet packets. 64B UDP batch pkts/sec 1 804570 2 872800 (+ 8 %) 4 916556 (+14 %) 8 939712 (+17 %) 16 952688 (+18 %) 32 956448 (+19 %) 64 964800 (+20 %) 64B raw socket batch pkts/sec 1 1201449 2 1350028 (+12 %) 4 1461416 (+22 %) 8 1513080 (+26 %) 16 1541216 (+28 %) 32 1553440 (+29 %) 64 1557888 (+30 %) We see a 20% improvement in throughput on UDP send and 30% on raw socket send.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar1-1/+1
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-08-20powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncateBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-2/+2
The truncate syscall has a signed long parameter, so when using a 32- bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel the argument is zero-extended instead of sign-extended. Adding the compat_sys_truncate function fixes the issue. This was noticed during an LSB truncate test failure. The test was checking for the correct error number set when truncate is called with a length of -1. The test can be found at: http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/devel/runtime-test?cmd=inventory;rev=stewb%40linux-foundation.org-20090626205411-sfb23cc0tjj7jzgm;path=modules/vsx-pcts/tset/POSIX.os/files/truncate/ BenH: Added compat_sys_ftruncate() as well, same issue.

2009-03-27generic compat_sys_ustatChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of data writen by the syscall.

2009-02-26perfcounters: fix a few minor cleanliness issuesPaul Mackerras1-1/+1
This fixes three issues noticed by Arnd Bergmann: - Add #ifdef __KERNEL__ and move some things around in perf_counter.h to make sure only the bits that userspace needs are exported to userspace. - Use __u64, __s64, __u32 types in the structs exported to userspace rather than u64, s64, u32. - Make the sys_perf_counter_open syscall available to the SPUs on Cell platforms. And one issue that I noticed in looking at the code again: - Wrap the perf_counter_open syscall with SYSCALL_DEFINE4 so we get the proper handling of int arguments on ppc64 (and some other 64-bit architectures).
